Intel's Nehalem Desktop Chips to Be Called Core I7

The high-end desktop versions of Intel's Nehalem processor family will carry the Core i7 moniker when they are released later this year.

Nehalem, which Intel executives will detail at the upcoming Intel Developer Forum conference in San Francisco, includes multiple processor cores as well as an integrated memory controller hub to improve performance -- a feature that is currently only available on x86 processors from rival Advanced Micro Devices.

The Nehalem chips will be manufactured using Intel's 45-nanometer manufacturing process.

Intel's current processor family is called Core 2, an apparent reference to both the use of multiple cores on these chips and the company's current microarchitecture, which is called Core. The Nehalem family will also use the Core brand, but Intel will drop the numeral two when referring to these chips.

Within the Nehalem family, chips designed for different types of computers will have individual sub-brands, such as the i7 brand that will be attached to the high-end desktop chips, called Core i7, said Ruby Au, a company spokeswoman in Hong Kong.

Other names will be used for Core processors intended for other types of computers, she said.

Nehalem is set to be the principal focus of IDF, much as Centrino Atom was the focus at IDF in Shanghai during April. But senior company executives slated to speak at IDF will also discuss other products, including system-on-chips designed for entertainment devices and an upcoming quad-core mobile processor, Au said.

The quad-core mobile processor was scheduled to be released this month, but Au said the chip is not likely to be released during IDF. "We are just planning to share some additional information about the chip," she said.

Why is it that the AMD fans tend to post such trash and try to flame bait?

yes way back in the dinosaur days of computing....lol
I'm hoping nehalem will be the biggest thing to hit pcs this decade.
With a quad core you'll see 8 virtual cores! Man that's a site I look forward to seeing....
Hopefully the ht will do good things for the processor.
I personally don't plan on upgrading till the prices settle, as my E6400 does everything I need it to.

Hilarious thread, I got a good laugh.

enigma067, you look like a complete idiot. As always thunderman, you are right there with him.

I just hope Intel goes easy on AMD, or AMD gets their act together, I really don't want to be bent over on a new CPU.

can anyone check if he isn't just "with him" but actually "is him", since I don't think there can be too many rabid AMD fans in the world.....

Turpit, who gets dinged for copyright violations? The poster, or the site...???

Just curious.

Back on topic, I'll wait to see reliable benchmarks before I make judgement, but I think I'm with Zorg on this one. If these chips are as good as preliminary tests seem to show, and Intel prices them competively, AMD may be in even more trouble than they are now. And we consumers don't need ' no AMD'.

Yeah, we do need AMD. For one thing, they will either invent good stuff that Intel can copy, or they will try new things and fail and Intel will be able to learn and avoid expensive mistakes. Also, without competition, Intel would be able to raise its prices. It would in fact HAVE TO raise prices, because shareholders will demand it.

I saw an article promising that 3 Nehalem CPUs will be released this year, and the cheapest one was priced at $284 IIRC.
